Empowering the rural community with various interventions.

In order to expand access to vision care and eyeglasses for the underprivileged, Care Netram in association with Good Vision Glasses, Germany have come together to conduct free vision campaigns in rural and semi-urban communities that have limited access to eye-care services. Many individuals that attend our vision camps have never before received an eye exam. India is home to 40% of the world’s blind population; one-third of our population needs glasses but doesn’t have access to them. Care Netram strives to solve the above mentioned problem by our skill development intervention of training manpower to take One dollar Glasses. Through this initiative, we support the patented technology to produce low cost eyewear while supporting our learning curve in technology enhancements with respect to vision. The program also contributes to improving livelihoods through job creation in rural and semi-urban areas that today suffer from a drastic shortage of primary healthcare.
